weight is obvious, but it
is difficult to determine
those less apparent traits
associated with strength.
We can understand such
things as strength of
character and strength of
conviction, but what do we
mean by strength of mind?
Navy Seals are recognized
as one of our elite fighting
forces, yet the largest, most
muscular or physically
fit often drop out of the

program. Why? Mental,
physical, and emotional
stamina are all key
elements that must work
together. Only the constant
and severe trial of combat
training can successfully
test and select the best
qualified candidates. Stress
can often make or break
anyone’s resolve. I saw that
occur to Law Enforcement
Cadets while teaching at
the Police Academy.

A police officer’s role
often requires action, not
just reaction. A martial
artist also must also be
able to do that. This Yin
and Yang concept (rule
of opposites) uses energy
projection, focused power,
and speed more than
muscle size. An aware
relaxed nature, rather
than tension, magnifies
strength. Strength can also
be enhanced by applying it
accurately to an opponent’s
vulnerable target area.
Massing all one’s mental,
physical, and emotional
power at a precise time
and location to defeat
an adversary is sound
strategy. Defining strength
is a complex concept.

SELF HEALING
‘Fat-free’ Sugar
By John Huntington
Special to the Pinal Nugget
I was stopped in my tracks
when I saw the words “Fatfree” blazoned in red on the
label of a 5 lb. bag of sugar at
the market.
After my well-deserve
double-take (of course there is
no fat in sugar – you just GET
fat consuming too much!),
I realized I was witnessing
a sales pitch that further
fueled the lie about why we
gain weight, lose energy
and gradually slide toward
the many chronic diseases
troubling modern society.
A recent study confirms
the damage sugar has to our
health. This study looked
at the effect of added sugars
only, not those naturally
present in the diet. The study
showed increased risk of death
from heart disease (CVD).
“Most US adults consume
more added sugar than
is recommended for a
healthy diet. We observed
a significant relationship

between added sugar
consumption and increased
risk for CVD mortality.”
And it isn’t only heart disease
that is advanced with excess
sugars, but also our other
scourge, cancer.
Reducing sugar intake is
not a fun thing to consider.
We have an in-born drive to
consume it.
All through time man has
selected and developed plants
with a higher starch (sugar)
level. This is easy to see when
you by compare a modern ear
of corn to an older, heritage
breed. The older varieties
are smaller and tougher – yet
don’t raise blood sugar near as
much as modern varieties.
The best starting point for
reducing sugar is to eliminate
processed foods (anything in a
box, can, wrapper, etc.) of all
kinds. They are loaded with
sugar both to add flavor and to
act as a preservative.
Happily, once your sugar
intake drops, you will
experience less instability to

John Huntington
blood sugar and your cravings
can be lessened. And, as
most grains (and especially
common wheat) are rapidly
turned to sugar in the body,
dropping breads and flours
can result in even greater ease
with this health benefiting
change.

Pinal Nugget
In January 1911, Cabral,
Alvarado and 20 men arrived
in Tucson and went directly
to the California Fruit Store.
It was there that they met
with the wife of the store
owner who was sympathetic
to their cause. It is believed
that she gave them some kind
of support either money or
supplies or both. The men
then crossed the border to aid
the revolution in Sonora. In
those days most of the Arizona
border was unpatrolled,
unfenced and open to
smugglers. Within days their
group had seized a small
village south of Agua Prieta
which they used as a home
base to recruit more men.
Cabral after raising an
army of two hundred men
soon occupied the village
of Bacanuchi not far from
Cananea. In March 1911
Cabral had sent a prominent
merchant of Bacanuchi,
Enrique Esquada to the town
of Arizpe which was held by
Federal troops to deliver a

letter to the Prefect of the
city. The letter demanded the
surrender of Arizpe. Esquada
who was not an insurrectionist
was taken prisoner. The
Prefect of Arizpe, Ignacio
Pesqueira wired General
Luis Torres in Hermosillo
for directions on what to do.
Torres told him to hold the
town and kill the messenger.
American newspapers
reported that Pesqueira
also wired the Governor of
Sonora, Alberto Cubillas,
seeking his advisement, as
Esquada felt the orders to be
extreme. Cubillas gave him
the same orders as Torres.
Pesqueira obeyed the orders
then resigned as prefect and
fled to the border. Esquada
was executed by firing squad
just outside of the town of
Uris. His body was left on the
highway.
Soon after, Cabral’s army
ambushed a detachment of 80
Federal troops on their way to
Arizpe in the mountains about
75 miles south of Cananea.
Cabral’s troops killed 65,
captured seven and recovered

the soldier’s weapons which
included 80 Mauser rifles
and ammunition. The city of
Hermosillo began preparing
for an invasion from Cabral’s
army as well as other rebel
troops coming from the south
and east. The town of Cananea
also began preparations for
a siege, the town’s leaders,
supporters of the dictator
Diaz, remembering what
Cabral had told them.
Cabral’s troop camped in the
Ajo Mountains 20 miles east
of Cananea in an area that
bordered William Greene’s
ranch. There they had plenty
of water, wood and Greene’s
Cattle Company beef which
they “appropriated”. William
Greene known as Colonel,
an honorary title, owned the
Cananea Cattle Company as
well as the Cananea Copper
Company and other mines
in the area. It was his mine
where the violence during
the strike of 1906 took place.
Cabral sent a message to
the leadership of Cananea
demanding their surrender.
The leaders of Cananea were

Ray-Sonora as it once appeared. This area is now the Asarco Ray Copper Mine.
worried. They did not know
the strength of Cabral’s army.
Cananea had about 400 troops
and policemen to guard the
town. Colonel Greene offered
to go and talk to Cabral.
Greene knew Cabral and his
family. Cabral allowed him to
come into his camp. Greene

spoke with Cabral. Cabral
was firm and said the Federal
troops and leaders could leave
Cananea now or he would
come in and take it, whether
it took two or three days and
the deaths of many men.
Greene went back and advised
the leaders to surrender. He
wired the Governor of Sonora
in Hermosillo and told him
it would be wise to abandon
Cananea as Cabral had about
500 men and once the firing
started all the miners in
Cananea would join in the
fighting on Cabral’s side.
Greene also did not want his
mining properties damaged
in the fighting or the large
number of Americans that
worked for him killed or
injured.
Within days the Federal

troops and leaders of Cananea
boarded trains supplied by the
mining companies and fled to
Nogales. Cabral and his troops
numbering between one and
200 entered Cananea without
firing a shot. His father and
family along with thousands of
the townspeople greeted him
with shouts of Viva Cabral,
Viva Madero. The hometown
boy had done well.
Cabral allowed the American
mines and smelter to operate
without interference. He
then set up a provisional
government. This was the first
major town taken in Sonora
by revolutionists. The town
would be held throughout
the revolution. The state of
Sonora shortly came under the
control of the revolutionists.

Citrus in the Brooke- March 20
Drive down a street in most Arizona towns, including
the big cities, and, you will see them peeking out of the
backyards, when not brazenly waving at the passing
traffic, right in front of the house or apartment building.
They are colorful, well-shaped, succulent darlings that
can make one sigh with involuntary envy. They are the
citrus trees, that everyone seems to know, instinctively,
how to grow and make thrive. Everyone but you? If that’s
how it seems to you, there is good news on the horizon,
and, your dreams of growing your own citrus trees are
about to come to fruition.

Lee Kannally cowboy artist exhibit on display

Rodeo Rider by Lee
Kannally

By John Hernandez
Pinal Nugget
Lee Kannally was an Oracle
cattle rancher, World War I
veteran and self taught artist.
He was one of five Kannally
family members from Illinois
that established a ranch in
Oracle in the early 1900s. This
ranch including the ranch
house is now Oracle State
Park.
The Kannally family, sisters
Mary and Lucille and brothers

Neil, Vincent, and Lee each
filed homestead patents and
then combined their land
holdings which extended from
Oracle down to what is now
San Manuel. The sisters took
care of the home while Lee and
Neil worked the cattle. Vincent
managed the business end of
the ranch.
During World War I, Lee
joined the Army. After the
end of the war in 1918, he
would be part of the American

Expeditionary Force Siberia
which was assigned the task
of helping protect the TransSiberia Railroad along with
other allied forces during
the Russian Revolution. The
allied forces fought against
the Bolsheviks (communists).
U.S. forces would leave Russia
in 1922 after it was clear that
the communists would win the
civil war. Lee would return to
Oracle in 1919 after suffering
exposure to poisonous gas.

MERCHANTS OF RAY-SONORA
Continued from page 4

Revolutionary victories in
Chihuahua by the soldiers
of Pancho Villa and General
Pascual Orozco and the
success of Emiliano Zapata
in the south led to President
Diaz fleeing the capital in
May. In June 1911, Madero
entered Mexico City and was
declared interim president. He
called for an election and was
overwhelmingly elected and
declared president of Mexico.
In August 1911, Colonel
Greene died of complications

from injuries received after he
was thrown from his carriage.
Juan Cabral commanded
the honor guard for Greene
who was well respected by
the Mexicans of Cananea.
Thousands marched with
the procession and lined the
streets. Captain Cabral was
promoted to Colonel for taking
Cananea. He was placed in
command of the rural forces
for Sonora.
Madero turned out to be
a weak president and did

not keep his promises on
land reform angering some
of liberal revolutionaries
and the generals including
Zapata. General Orozco in
the north and Zapata in the
south would take up arms
against the government of
Madero. The conservative
factions of the revolution did
not like how Madero operated
and some of the generals and
politicians began plotting
against him. One of Madero’s
generals Victoriano Huerta

Mayans were taken from
him and given to General
Obregon. Obregon would
join forces with Carranza.
Cabral now had no troops, no
paymasters and no money.
Obregon took the troops and
left the city. Obregon would
not honor Cabral’s promise.
Cabral wanted to keep his
promise to the Mayan women,
so he asked another General
for money to pay the women
but was denied. He then
went to the new Provisional
President Eulalio Gutierrez.
Gutierrez turned him down
then sent him on a mission
to visit General Pancho Villa
to find out if Villa would be
loyal to Gutierrez or would
fight on someone else’s side.
Villa said he would support
Gutierrez; however he
would later use his troops to
manipulate Gutierrez. This
would lead Gutierrez to resign
as president after serving less
than a year. Gutierrez would
then declare that Villa and
Carranza were traitors to the
“revolutionary spirit” and exile
himself to the United States.
Cabral told Villa about his
promise to the Mayan women.
Even knowing that Obregon
would eventually be using
the Mayan troops against his
army, Villa respected and
trusted Cabral enough that he
agreed to give him the money
to send to the women. In the
book “Memoirs of Pancho
Villa,” Villa called Cabral
a good revolutionary. He
was well respected by those
that knew him and fought
with him. He stayed loyal
to the revolutionary ideals
and helped bring about land
reform in Sonora.
In February of 1915, Cabral
became disillusioned with
the revolution and all the
fighting among the generals
and politicians seeking power.
He had over 2,000 troops
under his command in reoccupying Cananea. After a
meeting with the Governor
of Sonora, José Maytorena,

he resigned from the army
and left for the United States
where he settled in Tucson.
He got into the newspaper
business and was also involved
in mining. In 1916 after the
United States invaded Mexico,
sending General Pershing in
search of Pancho Villa, Cabral
offered his services to Mexico
should there be a break in
relationships with the United
States. Cabral briefly entered
Mexico to talk with Mexican
generals along the border.
His services were refused and
he was told to leave Mexico.
When he reentered the United
States some newspapers wrote
editorials saying his entry into
the United States should be
denied and if allowed into the
country he should be deported.
In 1918 there were reports
of “outlaw” Generals Juan
Cabral and Julian Medina
gathering arms and recruits
to begin a new revolution in
Sonora. Rumors were they
had crossed the border with
a thousand men. They even
had him preparing to attack
Nogales with his troops at the
same time that the Battle of
Ambos Nogales was fought
between American troops
and Mexicans at the border

in Nogales. This proved to be
false although both Cabral
and Medina were planning to
reenter the revolution and had
been gathering arms.
In June, Cabral was indicted
on charges that he violated
the neutrality of the United
States by attempting to start a
revolution in Mexico. He was
thought to be in Mexico when
the charges were filed. He was
arrested on Benson Road in
Arizona in March 1919. Arms
and ammunition were seized
on the Nogales Road that
were headed for the border to
support Cabral. The alleged
conspiracy was reported to

was listed as the leader of the
conspiracy. Cabral entered a
plea of guilty in the district
court of Tucson and was
sentenced to two years in
Leavenworth prison plus a fine
of $10,000.
Cabral returned to Mexico
in 1923. He was appointed

Hermosillo, the capital of
Sonora, is named for him.
Although he is one of the
lesser known of the generals

Revolution, he outlived the

Drought brought a disappointing desert
wildflower season, but irrigated gardens
at Boyce Thompson Arboretum mean
you can still enjoy floral color and variety
along the paths - and some endemic
perennials such as Wild Cucumber and
Rhyolite Bush blossomed early and
strong this year, despite dry conditions.

Flower fans have already reported clumps
of golden wallflower along BTA’s High
Trail, desert wishbone (a white-flowered
sibling of the Four O’Clock family) on the
switchbacks below Picketpost Mansion
- and the exotically shaped Watson’s
Dutchman’s Pipe (Aristolochia watsonii)
flowering throughout the grounds. Don’t
expect those breathtaking magazinecover ‘carpets of color’ this spring, but
attend a guided wildflower walk for great
opportunities to see, photograph and learn
to ID charismatic little wildflowers. Walks
are included with daily admission of $10
and start with a ‘back-to-back’ weekend of
